Inconstitucionalidad de la tasa de seguridad ciudadana en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito. Análisis del caso - No. 70-11-IN de la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador

Abstract

Ecuadorians find themselves immersed in situations that threaten their security. With the passing of days, cities have become more insecure and dangerous; that is why entities in search of solutions create standards that allow real protection. The Metropolitan District of Quito, within its powers, creates the citizen security rate, which allows raising funds, the same ones that are destined for protection. However, in the present case, there was no concordance in the reception of the resources and their destination. The Constitutional Court, as the body in charge of constitutional interpretation, proceeds with the analysis of the norms that refer to the citizen security rate. Finally, it decides to declare them unconstitutional, for violating the rights enshrined in the Constitution
